Shades of red
In shadows behind masks
we are all broken,
just empty flasks, and words that go unspoken.
Ears that never hear and
eyes that never open.
I wished just once, that we could see each other
I guess I got my wish,
you're rage is in color.
We are harps that never play the song
they were meant to sound
but that wont stop the world
from turning around.
You told me of all the glory, in the gold and brilliant hues
I wanted to know as well,
what so inspired you
I wanted to see if you meant what you said
I'm just sorry my proof was a million shades of red.
Fading dust
the color of our lives
broken trust
and sweet, sweet lies
day by day
in black and white
until lighting stuck and thunder sounded
the stone has been shaken where we were founded
disaster is in color and suddenly I see
how fragile those lives were how much they meant to me
we never knew what we had until it was lost
now that it is gone its of infinite cost
I wanted to see color before I was dead
I'm just sorry it had to be
a million shades of red
an empty canvas
I always knew could shine
wishing someday to see it brought to life
but beauty doesn't come from
a world that doesn't care
her hands reaching toward heaven
her foot in the devil's snare
until every thing was lost
I didn't know that it was there
The war was in color and suddenly I know
what master piece will be painted
on the canvas white as snow
It will a mural of brother against brother
because while the world is monochrome
the war was in color
I wanted to see a work of art that could bring tears to flow into rivers and floods
I'm just sorry it had to be painted in blood
In shadows behind masks
we are all broken,
just empty flasks, and words that go unspoken.
Ears that never hear and
eyes that never open.
I wished just once, that we could see each other
I guess I got my wish,
That war was in color.
I wanted to be remembered but how can they forget?
What I started that September, I know I haven't yet.
I know what they see when they look my way,
not a whole new color just a different shade.
